the Soul Connection Duo Podcast

On today’s episode of the Soul Connection Duo Podcast, we host C-IYAT and yoga teacher, Abby Verigin! Abby has been practicing yoga for over eight years and teaching for three! Her goal is to share the benefits of this traditional healing practice with the world.  Abby first discovered yoga in high-school, however she dove deeper into the practice during her college years as a strategy to cope with the increased anxiety she experienced as a student. Throughout this episode, Abby talks about some of the ways in which yoga can help to ease anxiety, and she provides some helpful tools for us and our listeners that she has learned over the years. She even chose to focus her C-IYAT case study on anxiety and the ways in which yoga therapy can be beneficial for alleviating many of the symptoms caused by anxiety. Focusing on alignment practices to connect the mind, body and soul for a deeper understanding of self, Abby emphasizes the importance of listening to and learning about your own body while attaining balance in life. She explains that allowing oneself to flourish is a holistic journey; all systems and parts of your body are important for real growth and reaching your highest potential. This means connecting to different dimensions of health on physical, emotional, occupational, social, spiritual, intellectual and environmental levels. Abby's vision is to spread awareness regarding the practice of yoga and how this can help people flourish in their lives. While educating her clients on physical movement patterns, she hopes to share techniques that can de-activate one’s nervous system through yoga and can easily be applied in everyday life. She knows how powerful this practice can be to take her client’s out of the overthinking, fight or flight state, and back into the restful state of the parasympathetic nervous system. Classes with Abby focus on modifying her clients' own abilities while listening to their bodies and honouring what it needs in that given moment. Abby wants to help people create a toolbox of simple ways to feel better everyday. To learn more about Abby, her classes and other offerings, please check out her website - www.howtoflourish.ca.

On today’s episode of the Soul Connection Duo Podcast, we chat with Emotional Alchemist, Mind-Body Practitioner and Master NLP Transformational Coach, Catherine Gagnon. Catherine is also a Neurosciences Practitioner, a Nurse Practitioner (NP), and is currently pursuing a doctorate in Natural Medicine and studying the Ancient Wisdom of Siddha Veda that stems from Ayurvedic medicine. Catherine shares her incredible story of how she cured herself from Lyme disease in ways that were truly unheard of in the traditional field of medicine. She explains that when we reconnect the mind and body, extraordinary things can happen to aid in the recovery from illnesses/diseases that many people do not recover from. During her healing journey, she also made the difficult decision to leave her profession as a NP all together, in order to pursue life-saving work from a more holistic approach as a transformational coach. As a natural empath, Catherine can see, hear and feel the emotional and physical "energy leaks" in people and her work helps people to identify and "plug" these leaks. We discuss what an energy leak is, how to pinpoint someone's biggest energy leaks, examples of energy leaks, and more! Catherine's clients report regaining their physical/emotional energy, recovering faster from illness, attaining mental clarity, self-confidence, feeling more at peace within themselves and happier in relationships, following sessions with her. We also learn about neuroscience, & how quantum physics and the law of attraction are one and the same. Catherine shares how change can be an uncomfortable journey, however these challenges are oftentimes placed in our path as an opportunity to level up our lives! She is a true inspiration of this, and has since created a thriving business that helps many others transform their health and wellness.

On today’s episode of the Soul Connection Duo Podcast, we connect with Kristin Lavin, author of the beautiful memoir, “The Butterfly Promise”. Kristin’s memoir is a story about eternal love, grief and the wonder of afterlife. Her book was a finalist in the IAN Book of the Year Awards. She also has a blog, “The Wondrous Journey of Being Here”, which explores self and planetary wellness, as well as the wonders of life.  We feel so honoured to have been able to share this conversation with Kristin on loss and some of the other spiritual aspects of grief. Following the passing of Kristin’s grandmother, she struggled to find books that offered her comfort as well as answers to her questions about spirituality and the afterlife, which is what inspired her to write and self publish her own memoir.  We discuss some of the truly beautiful moments in grief that Kristin shares in her book, as well as some of the signs and synchronicities that we’ve experienced from our own losses. This conversation also explores the messy (and crazy) parts of healing from the loss of a loved one, feeling alone in grief, ways we can begin to heal our hearts, the vast possibilities of an afterlife and reincarnation, and more! Kristin also shares a beautiful perspective in her book on grieving the loss of her cat which we discuss during this episode, as oftentimes the loss of a beloved family pet is the first experience many of us have with loss and grief.  The Butterfly Promise is truly a book for anyone who has experienced loss or is beginning to explore the realms of possibility that exist outside of the physical, and we would highly recommend this read to everyone! To learn more about Kristin and her book, please check out her website at www.kristinjoylavin.com, and be sure to leave her book a rating/review to support her as a self-published author.

She now teaches people all over the world how to use this technique, as well as how to create and anchor in New Earth and higher unity consciousness. Furthermore, she helps people activate their spiritual psychic gifts by acting as a bridge and connecting them to their higher selves and their own spirit guides. If you are at all interested to learn more about starseeds, the galactics, twin flames, and the dream world, you do not want to miss this episode! Ellie shares her own healing journey, and how she had to explore different modalities to find answers for the physical symptoms she was experiencing. She discusses some exciting and new-to-us ideas that we know our listeners will be eager to learn about alongside us. Ellie also defines what a twin flame is, their difficult journeys, and signs that may appear to help someone recognize if they are in fact one of these rare souls known as a twin flame. Ellie shares many of the amazing experiences she’s had through meditation, quantum hypnosis, and past life regression work, such as the galactic wars and how these play into our current reality. Ellie helps to shift her clients by activating their own gifts and thus allowing them to break away from the matrix.

On today’s episode of the Soul Connection Duo Podcast, we host Arun Nijhawa to discuss chronic pain, which has become a very prevalent health issue worldwide. Arun suffered from chronic back pain which left him immobilized for years, and was told that he would only recover with surgical intervention. However, Arun made a miraculous recovery and freed himself of his debilitating pain, by accessing the right knowledge, developing a greater understanding of the pain sensations in his body, as well as deeply connecting to his body and healing through daily meditation practice. He has since co-founded Menda Health, which is an online platform to reverse chronic pain for over one billion people worldwide who are living in agony, that are often misunderstood and mistreated in our current healthcare system. We feel very honoured to be able to share this episode with our listeners, as we know there are so many people who can relate to Arun's story! Arun shares his journey of healing from chronic pain, as well as his vast depth of knowledge and research to explain how he was able to heal himself. We learn about the current pain revolution in America and the true power our brains can hold when it comes to pain and healing. Arun defines some of the different types of pain, such as primary pain vs. secondary pain, as well as the very interesting research and evidence in regards to the prevalence of pain across the lifespan. He also shares some of the science-based techniques that can be used to help break pain cycles, such as "pain reprocessing therapy". Arun is the co-founder of Menda Health, a chronic pain recovery program (CPRP) to help reduce pain and suffering worldwide. The programs offered through Menda Health, allow people to lean into their body’s sensations in a safe way, while learning how to relate to what is showing up in their bodies without fear.
